€10 impulse buy. Wouldn't have given it the time of day, but those lugs gave me the hots and I couldn't walk away. I'm going to join the fashionista and make a fixie out of it + they just built an all-wood turn left board-track velodrome 15 minutes from where I'm living, so now there's no excuse. BP

B) where oh where can I get some jaunty socks like that...?

A) Velodrome is now complete, its called the Omnisport Centrum in Apeldoorn Holland. I went there for the first time yesterday but it was May Day and they weren't open for business. I've ridden a banked motorcycle circuit, but pedaling is going to even more weird.
B) Birthday present from sister-in-law! They're from Paul Smith. I don't sport Lycra so club membership may be problematic.

Beautiful! Hope we get more pictures. I don't know if there's anything like that in the States.
Did you guys recieve my illustrations? I was curious to get a qualified opinion on the subject matter. Now on Flickr-

Ben, what an awesome find! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Reynolds=Quality! Gold Answer Pro Taper bars!
sweet-love the duffer look!

i shall notify bsnyc pronto
Lugtastic frame - like it. Duffer socks - quality. But my attention is taken more by the log store. Ah, how I miss our open fires and woodburner... A morning spent splitting and stacking logs on a crisp autumn day is one mighty excuse for a beery lunch in front of the fire.
Pumped up the tyres rock hard and went for my first proper spin tonight - and took out 3 different Lycra racers!
The current highest gear ratio (from the original 10 speed) is 14-52 which seems a bit low??? but maybe high enough for traffic dodging flexibility???
002, I'm actually after some droopy Nitto bars or something similar???

I don't think it is a Gitane. If you are turning it into a fixie, save those vintage shift levers, though. Vintage Gitane stuff is found here: http:/www.gitaneusa.com/forum
